What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Dupree loses his home and job, moves in with newlyweds Carl and Molly, and repeatedly disrupts their settled domestic life.
Carl and Molly must negotiate how long their displaced best friend can remain in their house and how much intrusion their marriage can tolerate.
The central comic engine is Dupree overstaying his welcome and creating escalating problems for the Peterson household.
Carl takes in his best friend after Dupree is displaced by the wedding, forcing him to balance loyalty to Dupree with commitment to Molly.
